<p>Recently, I've been seeing a lot of people coming up with one excuse for not linking the duplicate topic in the suggestions forum. They say something like, <q>I'm on mobile!!!!! 😖😭😫</q> this is not a correct argument, so I've decided to make this post to prove it.</p>

<p>The way that you copy and paste on Safari is by double taping on the text, then dragging until you've selected all the text(the next bit works for links, not this)</p>

<h3 id="coping-links">Coping links</h3>
94
<p>Tap and hold on the link until you see:</p>

<h3 id="paste">Paste</h3>
100
<p>Going to any textbox, in the top-lefT-hand conner, you should see a little clipboard icon(as long as you aren't selecting any text), press it. tap "copy"(circled in red).</p>
